The Veilguard Releases PC Specs

Developer BioWare showcased their latest Dragon Age: The Veilguard game release trailer on August 15, and with an October 31 release date, the game’s Steam store page added the system requirements for PC.

The PC specs released show that BioWare are set to follow in the footsteps of other recent game releases. The game does not require the best graphics card to run and has lighter CPU demands, but it will eat up a lot of internal storage.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard System Requirements

The storage requirements include 100 GB, with the developer preferring an SSD, but not necessitated in the posted minimum requirements. BioWare notes HDD is supported.

Minimum Requirements:

• OS: 64 bit Windows 10/11
• CPU: Intel Core i5 8400 / AMD Ryzen 3 3300X
• Memory: 16GB RAM
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or 1060/AMD Radeon R9 290X
• Direct X: Version 12

Recommended Requirements:

• OS: 64 bit Windows 10/11
• CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K / AMD Ryzen 7 3700
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 5700XT
• Direct X: Version 12

The hardware requirements bode well for the game’s release, especially as the recent 2024 Steam Hardware and Software survey shows that most PC players will meet or exceed the minimum requirements.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Art Director Hopes New Character Designs Will Give Cosplayers A Challenge

Dragon Age: The Veilguard art director Matt Rhodes said the previous artistic lead made things easier for cosplayers.

As with most big game releases, Dragon Age: The Veilguard offers several recently revealed deluxe editions, pre-order bonuses, and physical item bundles. These are as follows:

The Deluxe Edition

• The base game
• 3 Rook armor sets (cosmetic only)
• 6 Rook weapons (cosmetic only)
• 7 Companion armor sets (cosmetic only)
• 7 Companion weapons (cosmetic only)

The pre-order bonus includes the Blood Dragon Armor set for all classes.

The ‘Rook’s Coffer’ Edition

The announced Physical Item Bundles, which do not include a copy of the game, have caught a lot of attention. The first such bundle is the “Rook’s Coffer” edition, which, at $150 USD, offers players physical items including:

• Lyrium Dagger
• Thedas Map with Quiver Tube
• Rook’s Deck
• Potion Flask
• Enchanted Die

Alongside other similar collector’s editions, such as art books or special edition metal covers for the game’s physical disc, these packs, not including the base game, caught some by surprise.

However, these bundles always offer something for collectors. And those who fall in love with the game may find themselves circling back.
